SAWFLIES DO MUCH DAMAGE

Apprehension is being felt over the
heavy infestation of sawflies through-
out southern Alberta and southern Sa-
skatchewan, Damage will not be dis-
cernable until harvest approaches but
heavy losses are sure to occur, Saw-
flies cut through the stalks of wheat
at the bottom, and the grain falls to
the ground and cannot be picked up
by ordinary harvesting machinery,

_—_—_— Oo
MOVEMENT OF GRAIN

Western country elevators held 132
million bushels of wheat~on July 14th,
Just before harvest in 1943 there were
222 million bushels of wheat in these
elevators. Before the, 1944 harvest
commences much of the grain in the
country elevators should be moved to
the lakehead, Right now about 1,100
cars are being unloaded at Ft. Wil-
liam—Pt, Arthur terminals each day,
Last fall 600 cars a day was the maxi-
mum that could be unloaded,

Further relief forrcongestion in rail-
way traffic is likely to be obtained due
to the fact that eastern Canadian pro-
vinces have good crops this season and
will require less feed grain from the
west,

HARVEST HELP SCARCE

Harvest will soon be here and the
farm labor situation this year will be
worse than ever experienced before.
One important thing upon which all
Alberta people can agree readily and
that is that nothing should be neglect-
ed that can help to solve this farm
labor shortage at harvest time. The
people in most villages and towns are
possibly more keenly aware of the

serious situation than those in the |

cities, but everybody should help in
some way or other if they possibly
can do so, After five years of war
there simply is not enough labor on
the farms to take off this crop.—Al-
berta Wheat Pool Bulletin,

CANADA TAKES OVER HUGE
AIR FIELD SYSTEM

Another big stride towards assur-
ing Canada’s pre-eminent position in
post-war aviation has been taken by
the agreement with the United States
for the Dominion to own and operate,
after the war, the great air bases in
the Canadian northwest and in Lab-
rador and Newfoundland, Canada will
pay a total of $120,000,000, much less
than the United States expended on
these great enterprises, But the vast
air filds, some of them as large as
any in the world, will be the property
of Canada and will be available to
other nations for international air
routes, only on such terms as the Do-
minion may agree to,

Nowhere has there been such a
marked benefit from the wartime price
and distribution controls than to the
country general store merchant. His
total business increase since 1939, ac-
cording to official estimates tabulated
at Ottawa, is around 60 per cent. To

show the relative position of various |

types of merchants, here are figures
on sales volume for the year 19438:
For department stores and mail order

houses there was a decrease of one |
per cent; chain stores also showed a}

decrease of 2.3 per cent; independent
stores, not including country general
stores, increased 5.8 per cent, and the
country store increased 9.5 per cent.

ALLOWANCES WILL
‘BENEFIT OVER ONE
| MILLION FAMILIES

Act Provides that All
Payments Be Tax Free

More than a million Canadian,fam-

ilies with upwards of 2,500,000 child-
ren, will benefit from the family al-
lowance system, one of the Govern-
ment’s social security measures now
before Parliament, These will be the
families in the lower income groups,
as those with big earnings will have
their income tax allowance for child-
ren reduced by the amount of the al-
lowance and will not benefit finan-
cially,
' A big proportion of the families to
gain under the plan will be in rural
areas, villages and towns, The allow-
ance will be tax free, This means that
where a breadwinner is now exempt
from income tax and the allowance
payment raises his earnings above the
exemption level, he will not have to
pay income tax. Though the allow-
ance is graded according to the age
of the child, the average payment
will be about $6.25 for each child.
The average cheque will probably
amount to upwards of $18 a month,
with larger families receiving $30 a
month or more,

One big feature of the act is that
!all children living in Canada, whether
or not their parents are native-born
or naturalized Canadians, are eligible
for the allowance, The plan is to help
every family to improve its standard
of living for the benefit of all child-
ren in the dominion,

BIG GAME HUNTERS
RUSHING TO ALBERTA

Greater number of big game hunt-
ers than ever before plan to visit Al-
berta this year, according to informa-
tion received by the A.M.A,

Officials of the provincial game
branch have stated that many out-
fitters and guides have received as
many orders as they can take care of
this season, Some outfitters have in-
creased their facilities, but neVUrthe-
less are “plugged” for the pending
season,

All of this goes to show that this
province is still looked upon as the
big attraction for hunters from afar,

Just as it appeals to hunters, so has
Alberta aroused the interest of many
motor tourists in the U.S, who plan
to visit here when the war is ended
and travel restrictions are abolished.

Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived already by branches of the A.
M.A, from parties that are making
plans for northern trips just es soon
as conditions are favorable,

Because of the existence of an ade-
quate pool of trained pilots, suspen-
sion of recruiting for Canada’s Air
Force until October 1, was announced
recently by Air Minister Power. It
was pointed out that this will not af-
fect the output of aircrew for ap-
proximately a year. Because of this
reserve, pilot training courses at ser-
vice flying training schools will be
lengthened by eight weeks, and only
those best qualified will be allowed to
continue training as pilots. All cate-
gories of air crew will now have the
same opportunity to earn commis-
sions. It is likely that these regula-
tions will result in the schools turn-
ingg out the best trained pilots in
history.

Fifty-three million pounds of the
100 million pounds of beef Canada
has agreed to ship to the United
Kingdom in 1944-45 has already gone
there, even though the contract has
just been signed, But the British are
going to take all that we can make
available, so, when the contract is
over it may be three or four times
the minimum figure stated. This rep-
resent the equivalent of 250,000 cat-
tle valued at thirty million dollars.
One of the factors in the contract is
reported to be that fresh Canadian
beef can be landed in the Old Country
in 10 days, while that shipped from
the Argentine takes three times as
long. In the past the Argentine has
shipped 1,250,000 head of cattle to the
U.K. in a year, This contract, accord-
ing to Agricultural Minister Gardner,
assures floor prices for beef on a re-
vised scale, and further will not dis-
rupt domestic supplies to a_ point
where meat retioning will be neces-
sary again.

A preliminary survey shows that
Canadian tobacco growers have about
88,400 acres planted to all types of
tobacco in 1944, an increase of 24.3
per cent over the previous year and
just below the 92,300 acres planted in
1939, the year of peak production in
Canada.

A WORTHY ORGANIZATION

The Canadian Seed Growers’ Asso-
ciation recently met at Saskatoon and
celebrated its fortieth anniversary,
These. men gathered together at Sas-
katoon, just as they have gathered
together in different provinces for
each of the past forty years—and at
their own expense—to discuss, not
ways and means of raising the price
of seed, or of advancing tifir own
welfare, but solely methods of improv-
ing the quality of their product—Reg- |
istered seeds, |

In 1904, when the Association start- |
ed, it had a membership of ninety-
three farmers Who produced seed of
forty-three different kinds, varieties —
and strains of crops, Today the Asso-
ciation has a membership of 2,600 who
produce seed of 271 different kinds,
varieties and strains,

I found myself thinking what a fine |
unselfish body of men they were, for
no seed grower has ever accumulated

‘much, if any, extra money through |

the exacting additional work that seed |
growing requires; indeed most of them |
tell you that seed growing has brought
them in no extra profit, but that they
do enjoy the realization that their
work helps to maintain the high qual-
ity of Canadian grains and other pro-
ducts flowing to world markets, hence |
that they are contributing towards |
the welfare of their fellow farmers.

FLOOR ON ALL THE
FARM COMMODITIES

Three bills to aid agriculture and
other primary industries advanced
through various stages under govern
ment sponsorship. One of the most
far-reaching of these is the Agricul-
tural Prices Support Act, designed to
ensure minimum prices, for all farm
products at a level which will give
a good return to producers,

Hon. Jas, Gardiner, Minister of Ag
riculture, told Parliament that a study
will be made of wartime ceiling price
on farm products with a view to rem
edying any injustices, But the main
purpose of the bill is to put a floor un
der prices of agricultural products and
prevent the slump and hardships
which occurred after the last war,
The bill sets up an Agricultural Prices
Support Board which, under govern
ment direction, will pay to producer
the difference between the floor price
and the average price of farm pro
ducts when the latter falls below the
minimum to be established

Sea Captain Who Proved By

A New Method

That The Sub

Menace Could Be Overcome

EATH of Capt. Frederic John Walker, Commander of the Bath and
holder of the D.S.O. with two bars, marked the end of an era in sub-

marine warfare—an era which bega
carried over into the current conflic’
dangerously close to beating Britain.

to the massing of the submarines’ prey in convoys under escort.

But such a drubbing was given
these 1918 U-boats commanders that
almost two years of this war elapsed
before similar tactics were tried

The wolf-packs were back, with
23 years of study and planning mak-
ing them a deadly, efficient weapon.
Making their task easy was an acute
shortage of escort vessels.

Until 1943 the wolf-pack was Ger-
many’s most effective weapon.

Then came a group of tough,
youthful naval officers who argued
that dead U-boat crews sink no ships
—that the only way to stop Wolf
packs was to hunt them down and
smash them. So were born the
“Killer Packs’—groups of speedy,
heavy armed warships which didn’t
wait to be attacked; they went look-
ing for trouble.

Almost immediately the results of
this switch from defence to offence
could be seen. The graph of U-boat
sinkings spiralled dizzily during the
last half of 1943 and continued to
move upwards through 1944.

Tops among these killer packs was
the pioneer one led by Capt. Walker.
He and his ships—the Kite, Starling,
Wild Goose, Woodpecker and Mag-
ple—through a combination of perse-
verance, skill and luck—accounted |
for 17 U-boats and three probables to
prove wolf-packs could be beaten.

Their system, followed by all
killer-packs, was that they sailed no
rigid traffic lanes and protected no
convoys. Their hunting ground was}
the area vaguely defined as “the
western approaches” where the ship-
ping of the world converges on the |
way to Britain. They sailed wherever
they thought U-boats might be
found.

They beat the wolf-pack technique
and brought to an end a means of |
underwater warfare that had terror-|
ized shipping in two wars. But just |
as victory was complete, Capt. Wal-|
ker died on shore of a heart attack.
His body was buried at sea in the
waters he helped clear of his coun-
try’s biggest menace.

First Railroad

And Eight Years Ago

More than a century ago, to be |
exact one hundred and eight years
ago, two villages in the province of
Quebec, Laprairie, on the St. Law-
rence, and St. Johns, on the Riche- |
lieu River, were the terminal points
of the first run of a steam-engine
ever attempted in Canada. The six-
teen-mile line was the first link in
the series of railways, which, ulti-
mately, became the greatest rail
system on the American continent.

It was July 21, 1836, four years after
the granting of a charter to the
Champlain and St. Lawrence Rail-
way, that the “Dorchester”, tiny
wood-burning steam-engine, belching
fire and smoke, hauled two small
passenger cars over & steel-bound
wooden track between Laprairie and
St. Johns.

That first run required almost two
hours and it was the sensation of the
day. It brought to fruition the
dream of a coterie of men of vision
and faith in Canada’s future, men
who had hoped for a better means
of transportation than the old-time
bone-racking stage coaches and the
batteau of the voyageurs. That sec-
tlon of the province was chosen be-
cause it was adjacent to the only
overland highway between Montreal
and New York and it now forms an

integral part of the St. Lawrence
division of the Canadian National
System.

The success of the “Dorchester”
was the inspiration to build new

lines, east and west, north and south,
travel

and these lines facilitated
between the provinces and greatly
Influenced the country’s leaders to

introduce Confederation, which came
81 years later.
TOOK THEIR TIME

Getting oneself hanged appears to
have been a long process in New
Hampshire back in the 1860s. Records
at the old jail house show that at
one hanging the sermon that pre-
ceded it lasted two hours. Seven-
teen pages expounded the text, three
were addressed to the criminal, and
18 to the audience.

than twice as high as Niagara Falls.

Parents Of This Sailor Have Been
Bombed Out Four Times

Lt. Cmdr. 8S. C. Dickinson
Toronto has been chasing Germans
over the Atlantic now for some four
years, but he is beginning to feel
that if he really wants to get into
this war he ought to stay with his
mother and father in London. They
have been bombed out on four occa-
sions.

First taste of being homeless came
during the blitz in 1940 when bombs
flattened their house at Wimbledon,
near London. Cmdr. Dickinson's
mother was pinned under debris for
36 hours, but his father escaped un-
harmed, being at work in the Ad-
miralty.

The Dickinsons then leased an-
other house and in the Spring of
1941 German bombs levelled it once
more. This time both parents es-
caped injury. And their luck held
on the third occasion when their
flat—they had stopped getting houses
by that time—was flattened.

The fourth time both were shaken
as a German bomber smashed houses
around their place and left their flat
so wrecked it had to be torn down.

Unpainted Barns
Farm Buildings Are Greatly In)
Need Of Paint

In the depression years before
war, Canada took on an appearance
of being down at heel Unpainted
barns made a striking contrast at
once in the countryside after cross
ing the border from the United
States to Canada Since the war,
farm prices have improved, but few
farmers are able to find the time to
paint barns or to do any decorative
work, The situation should be dif-
ferent when the fighting forces are
demobilized after™the war. A prac-
tical way to celebrate victory in
Canada would be to give every barn,
farmhouse, every dwelling, factory
and similar structure across’ the
country a new coat of paint.

There will presumably be a surplus |
of paint among other war supplies to
be disposed of. The government is
giving study to this subject of the
disposal of surplus supplies. It will
include a long list of machinery,
motor vehicles, ships, buildings, real
estate as well ag of paint, oil, cloth
ing and food.

How this surplus is to be marketed
without unduly forcing down prices
is something for the government's
expert advisers to work upon. So
far as paint is concerned, the possi- |
bility of giving the surplus paint to}
Canadian farmers should be worth)
considering. They could be required
to make use of the free paint so that |
the country could benefit as well as
the individual farmers.

It would brighten up the landscape |
to supply paint to farmers free)
wherever they were willing to put |
it to the best use. Canada would}
look better to visitors from across |

London’s Famous
Opened Fifty Years Ago

Fifty years ago, on June 30,
Tower Bridge was opened by the
Prince of Wales on behalf of the
Queen, and it is recorded that it
was a picturesque and stately cere-
mony perfectly performed under the
most favorable conditions.

London was proud of this engineer-

as one of the structural triumphs of |
the age of steel. It was the largest |
bascule in the world, the next largest |
| being the one at Copenhagen, which |
had a passage way of 50 feet 8 inches,
compared with the 200 feet of

Fish Royalty _ [Hat Makes A Difference

Saskatchewan Government Wants
Alberta And Manitoba To
Adopt Uniform Policy
Plans for the imposition of a
royalty on all commercial fish had
been discussed by members of the
Saskatchewan government and would
bo presented for the approval of
officials of the Alberta and Manitoba
governments at a proposed inter
provincial conference in the fall, Hon.
J. L. Phelps, minister of natural re-

sources, announced.

“Though no definite arrangements
have been made with the govern-
ments of Alberta and Manitoba, it is
hoped that they will agree to the
conference and, if possible, to the
adoption of a uniform policy in re-
gard to the fishing industry,” Mr.
Phelps said.

The proposed royalty would be
levied only on commmercial fish and
monies from this source would be
used to finance the recently began
survey of northern commercial fish-
ing lakes and the inspection of com-
mercial fish, to develop facilities for
research and to assist in the main-
tenance and extension of fish hatch-
eries.

Mr. Phelps emphasized that the
costs of royalties on fish would not
be borne by the consumer but by the
|shipper or dealer.

“The proposed royalty on fish
would be levied in the same manner
as those now imposed on furs,” he
stated.

Cycling In Sweden *

Has Enjoyed An _ Unprecedented
Boom Since The War Started

Sweden has the largest number of
bicycles in the world in relation to
its population. Recently published
figures show that Sweden has passed
both Denmark and Holland, which
were previously the world’s leading
bicycle nations.

Since the middle of the 1930's, but
especially during the war, cycling
has enjoyed an unprecedented boom
in Sweden. In 1936 for instance, the
number of bicycles in Sweden
amounted to about 1,000,000, in 1939
it had risen to 2,000,000, and at pres-
ent there are 3,000,00 bicycles in the
country. This means that 45 per-
sons out of every 1,000, or roughly
every second Swede, has his own
bicycle. In Stockholm, with a popu-
lation of 640,000 inhabitants, there
are 425,000 bicycles.

The rapid development of cycling
in recent years is, of course, partly
due to the ban on private motoring
as well as the curtailing of the public
bus services, owing to the lack of
rubber and lubricants. Another con-
tributing factor, so far as the cities
are concerned, is undoubtedly the
rapid growth of the suburban dis-
tricts. However, the factor which
has contributed most of all to the
development of cycling in Sweden is
the ever increasing interest in sports
and outdoor life among all strata of
the Swedish people.

BREAD IS NOT ENOUGH

Farmers of Canada have good cause
to feel satisfied with their war effort
thus far, Many have bravely wished
Godspeed to sons who have dropped
their chores on the farm for the big-
ger chore of fighting on foreign soil.
Most have speeded up their work at
home to produce a_ record-breaking
output of farm produce to meet the
needs of war,

At first glance that seems enough
to ask of any Canadian citizen, But it
isn’t. While a large majority of farm-
ers has been buying Victory Bonds to
the very limit of their resources, there
are indications that an appreciable
number have yet to buy their first
Victory Bond, Fast rising savings de-
posits in certain rural areas and re-
ports from the Victory Loan Field
Organization seem to substantiate the
statement,

What this minority of farmers has
overlooked is the fact that Canada’s
sons in uniform cannot fight on bread
alone. They need iron rations too—in
abundance, And these iron rations—
the bombs and shells and bullets—
are produced from the proceeds of
Victory Loan. sales,

Someone has said that one of the

reasons why a number of Canadian
farmers has seemed to prefer to keep
their money in the bank, or at home,
| avises from a wrong impression about
the negotiability of a bond, As a mat-
ter of fact, the farmer who has all
his money invested in Victory Bonds
is just as able to meet an emergency
as his fellow farmer who holds on to
the cash, The Victory Bond owner can
borrow on his bonds at the bank in
five minutes, or if forced by cireum-
stances to sell his bonds at the bank,
he can do so in about the same time
as it would take him to make a with-
drawal from his savings account.

TEN MODERN COMMANDMENTS

The following are Ten Modern Com-
mandments which every citizen should
adopt. Read them carefully and see if
you measure up as well as you do to
the Mosaic version,

1. Thou shalt not go away from
home to do thy trading, nor thy son,
nor thy daughter,

2. Thou shalt patronize thy home
merchants for yea—verily, doth the
home worker spread over the tidings
of the goodness and greatness, and
many will patronize thee.

3. Thou shalt employ thy home me-
chanics that they shall not be driven
from their homes to find bread for
their little ones,

4. Thou shalt not ask for credit as
goods cost much and the merchant’s
| brain is burdened with bile. His child-
| ven clamor for daily bread, and his
| wife abideth at home for lack of gar-
ment as adorneth her sister, Blessed,
yea, thrice blessed is the man who
pays cash,
| 5. Thou shalt not ask for reduced
| price on thine “influence” for guilt is
‘in your heart, and the merchant read-
eth it like an open book, He laugheth
| thee to seorn and shouteth to his
| clerks, ha, ha!

6. Thou shalt do whatever lieth in
thy power to encourage and promote
the welfare of thine own neighbor-
hood and thine own people,

7. Thou shalt not suffer voice of
| pride to overcome thee and let foreign
| merchants entice thee, Consent thou
not, for thou mayest be deceived,

8. Thou shalt spend thy earnings at
|}home that they may return from
| whence it came and give nourishment
to such as may come after thee,

9. Thou shalt not bear false wit-
}ness against the town, wherein thou
dwelleth, but speak well of it to all
men,

10. Thou shalt keep these command-
ments and teach them to thy children
even unto the third and fourth gen-
}erations that they may be made to
flourish and grow in plenty when thou
j art laid to rest with thy fathers,

Perhaps they even ignore milk.

an easily-prepared milk-containing

War Between

Nazi Gadgets

NORMANDY While the Boche
continues to put his chips on queer
Rube Goldbergish devices of war,
our forces of the world’s most
mechanized army banks heaviest on
the qualities of the resourceful
tough-fisted fighting man

Most of the frontline fighting in
the Canadian sector during the past
two weeks has been the infantry-
man’s job

When the Americans broke through
west of St. Lo it was infantrymen
|Who spearheaded the attack which
has since been exploited with a
great weight of armor and is so
successful that more than 8,000 Ger-

man prisoners are already in the bag.

Similarly with the British attack
jsouth of Caumont, where the = in
| fantry made the first contact and
then armor followed up

If you need confirmation of your
}Opinion of the valour and the im-
|portance of the role played by the
Canadian infantrymen, check almost
any casualty list during these past
eight weeks of the invasion

The rifleman is still the fellow
with the terrific resourcefulness and
stamina who can _ infiltrate into
enemy lines where armor might be
stopped, who can reach dead ground
which might be difficult even for our
howitzers, and who can. still move
on all fours and search out the most
cleverly concealed and camouflaged
enemy positions

Contrasting this, the Germans are
leaning more and more’ towards
gadget war.

The Boche has been able to kill
indiscrimnately with the robot bombs
in England but he hasn't been able
to scare the Canadians very much
so far with his limited experimental
use of radio-operated tanks

The Allies have been writing off
German troops at the rate of more
than 3,000 a day since D-day, in
cluding killed, wounded and prisoners

This figure was estimated by
Montgomery himself only 10 days
ago, and the bag of the Americans
in the west coupled with further
casualties and prisoners on the Bri-
tish-Canadian front makes the total
close to 200,000 for the eight weeks
of the invasion.

At the same time it is recognized
that the German often leay his
poorest troops holding the bag, that
his crack regiments pull out first
and leave soldiers from the occupied
lands to fight rearguard actions, so
that the prisoner haul often includes
a high percentage of scruff.

This pattern may be intended to
retain sufficient men of the elite
professional type to handle Robot
bomb lairs, and guide these crazy
experimental tanks, but in the
course of time it is possible that we
will have nothing left to fight ex
cept some mad scientists and their
army of Frankenstein robots

In some ways we have reached
the phase of the war where it be-
comes a battle of scientific genius
but our weapons depend on_ the
human brain rather than the gyre
compass with our weapons

NATURE STUDIES OF
BIRDS AND ANIMALS

Some Very Strange Happenings
Recorded By Naturalists

A fisherman near the mouth of the
Blanche River, P.Q., was surprised
last month to see large bullfrog
snap up and swallow two ducklings.
He killed the frog and found that it
was almost a foot long. Later it was

a

brought to the Wildlife Division of
the National Parks Bureau in
Ottawa, where the contents of its
stomach were examined, revealing
not only the two ducklings, each of
which was five inches long, but also
a full-grown meadow mouse,
Various naturalists have observed
that when meadow mice become very
common they occasionally form part
of the diet of large bullfrogs. Young
ducklings too, apparently are re-
garded as tasty morsels by these

carnivorous amphibians, but it is
doubtful that many are destroyed in
this way Ducklings grow rapidly
and at five days of age would be too

large for the biggest bullfrog to
swallow.

Another fisherman, a member of
the schooner “Alcala’, recently
caught a “sea-gull’ on his trawl line,

and when he hauled it into his boat,
that it was wearing an
aluminum leg-band. It was found

discovered

that the bird was an Atlantic Kitti-
wake which was banded in Iceland
on May 27, 1938.

the coast of Newfoundland. They

ter, often keeping well off shore.
This banding record has thrown addi-
tional needed light on the migratory
habits of Kittiwakes.

A Nova Scotia farmer recently}
missed one of his hens. Whether
she had been killed or carried off by
some predator he did not know.
After an absence of three weeks or

so the hen returned to the kitchen
door followed by a flock of nine
sturdy young wild ducks.

What actually happened no one
knows, but several possibilities pre-
sent themselves, the most likely one
being that the hen appropriated the}
nest of a wild duck and, being in|
the mood for hatching, retained it by
forceful means or otherwise. Per-
haps the mother duck had met her
death just after having finished lay
ing, the hen stumbled upon the nest
at the psychological moment and,
being in a ‘“‘broody” state, decided to
carry on. Perhaps some reader has}
a better theory to explain this un
usual occurence. |

Europe's Libraries

Restock These After The War

The British Council is working out
plans to restock Europe's libraries
after the war. A committee will be
appointed as soon as possible after
hostilities cease to bring the war-
damaged libraries of Europe up to
something approaching their 1939
strength. The Inter-Allied Book
Center already has received promises
for a million and a half volumes. It
is impossible as yet to say how these
books will be allocated or what pro-

portion will remain to help the
blitzed British libraries, Books on
technical subjects are particularly

desired as the coverage of these sub-
jects is less thorough than the inter-
est in them. The Center is also
building up a store of new books, but
British publishers have not been able
to make definite post-war plans for
satisfying the European market be-
cause of present paper shortages.
The home front demand for books
will have to be satisfied before new

books for the continent can be pro-|

duced in quantity.

Not Superstitious

But Modern Fliers Have Developed
Many Customs And Habits

Although the airmen of World War
I were extremely superstitious,
present-day fliers like to insist that
aviation is just a business with no
more superstitions than packng meat
or selling dry goods, according to a
survey made by writers for the U.S.
Army Times.

Most modern pilots do not carry
lucky pieces, nor do they wear their
best girl's scarf as did the knights
of the First Great War. Only one
in 80 fliers has any feeling about
the number “thirteen”, though a few
consider it a lucky number. Scarcely
any carry a rabbit's foot.

Yet a number of customs and
habits have been developed by the
men who fly. Some represent in-
dividual characteristics while others
have an origin in reason.

“Geronimo!"’ yells every para-
trooper as he leaps from the plane.
Emptying the lungs helps equalize
the lower air pressure at great
heights, and yelling is a psychological
factor. Just why the first man to
yell and jump used “Geronimo” is
not known, but the cry is here to
stay.

Contrary to navy practice of re-
naming an unlucky ship, airmen
consider all planes lucky and hold
fast to the name of the original
craft. A crew may have a number

CO-OPERATION OF
THE BRITISH EMPIRE

Welsh Farmer Had Proof When He
Saw Names On Tractor

A Welsh sheep farmer from Tre-
garon, Isgarn Davies, told recently
at the B.B.C. overseas microphone
how the evidence of his own eyes had
made real for him the collaboration
of the people of the whole Empire,
on the home front no less than on
the battle ground.

He said that when the tractor
driver came to his farm with his
implements last year, he, the farmer,
had eagerly examined the machine.
On the rim of the tractor wheel he
read: “Made in England.” On the
iron backbone of the two-furrow
plow he found: “Made in Canada.”
On the harrow was stamped: “Made
in Australia.” He went on to say
that bold headlines in the daily
papers telling of Empire co-opera-
tion have become so familiar to us
that we tend to take them for grant-
ed, but, he added: “The capital let-
ters on that machine had their real
meaning for me. I have realized
that the slopes of the Welsh hills
are being cultivated by means of im-
plements hammered into shape by
Canadian hands, by Australian crafts-
men as well as by British.” He re-
called that many times in the years
before the war he had heard the
phrase: “Peace is indivisible.” This
world struggle had shown beyond

of planes damaged and replaced, but
as long as they fly together in a
ship of that type, it always bears
the same name.

The love for old planes and cloth-
ing is not a superstition but a prac-
tical need. No matter how battered
a plane may become, the pilot al-
ways prefers it to a better condi-
tioned plane. He knows its idlosyn-
crasies. Becoming conscious of new
clothing may distract the pilot just
when every faculty is needed for the
job at hand. Old caps become relics
of sentimentality and woe betide the
mechanic who mistakes one, though
it is easily done, for a grease rag.

Most pilots will indignantly deny |
any superstitious gesture but one ex-
cavalryman at Brooks Fields, Texas,
confessed that he pats the “flank”,
of each plane he boards. Another |
touches a ring with his thumb be-
fore taxiing to take-off position.

One never talks of good luck in
the air force. One cadet was un-
mercifully pummelled by his class-
mates for remarking that not one
serious accident had occurred in the
10-month training period of the
class.

An instructor, regulating air
traffic from the control tower, men-
understandable pride |
that not one of his flying students
had suffered the slightest accident
while under his tutelage. Immedi-
ately afterward, within 10 minutes,
two students made “ground-loops” in
landing.

Sticking chewing gum on the wing
or fuselage seems to be a bit of}
business from Hollywood. Actually, |
pilots are just as superstitious, or as
unsuperstitious, as anyone else. In
other words they are #perfectly
normal—which, after all, is just the |
way the air force wants them.

Unity Mitford |
Granted Permission To Live On_
Island In Atlantic

Unity Mitford, once called the}
“perfect type of Nordic beauty’ by
Adolf Hitler, has been granted per-
mission to live on the Island of Inch-
kenneth in the Atlantic west of Mull
and has taken up residence there
with her parents, Lord and Lady
Redesdale, it was disclosed.

The island, off the coast of Scot-
land, is owned by Redesdale and the
only other inhabitants are the ferry-
man and farm manager.

A second Redesdale daughter,
Lady Mosley, wife of the British
Fascist leader, Sir Oswald M. Mos-
ley, was arrested in 1940 by anti-
Fifth Column squads. She and Mos-
ley were freed by the Government last
November on grounds of ill-health
after having’ been interned since
May, 1940, and were last reported
living at an Oxfordshire inn.

HAS EARNED THEM

If ever operational wings are worn
by newspaper correspondents as-
signed to the air force Colin Bednall
of the London Daily Mail will have
gone a long way towards earning
one. He has been on seven missions,
Berlin, Leipzig, St. Nazaire, north-
ern France (two), Pas de Calais and
Normandy on D-day.

King George I of England was
nicknamed ‘Farmer George’ because
he expressed the opinion that Hyde

it took this piece of machinery,

saw that I, in this isolated spot, had
also a part in this fight for freedom.

He drew an interesting contrast,
too, between the Roman legions who
came to Wales—to Cardiganshire—
in the first century, as conquerors, to
dig for lead and gold, and the Ital-
ians who have come there in the
twentieth century, as prisoners, and
who are helping Welsh farmers to
dig for victory.

Agricultural Country

Normandy Has Always Produced
Most Of France’s Crops

In normal times Normandy, now
turned temporarily into a_ battle-
field, produced a high percentage of
France’s agricultural crops. Lush
and rich with its fertile soil, tilled
fields and fruit orchards, it has been
a desirable land since the time of
the Romans and the Vikings.

It was from Dives that William
the Conqueror set sail on his con-
quest of England in 1066.

It is in Normandy we find Gothic
architecture at its best. Rouen,
Caudebec, Caen, Bayeaux and Cou-

{tances are among the places where
|many examples are to be found.

In
Honfleur, the old wooden church and
clock tower of St. Catherine still
bear evidence of the strength and

| picturesque durability of old Nor-

early buildings of hewn timbers.

In Normandy the tanner is a man
of distinction. William the Con-
queror’s mother, Arlette, was 4@
tanner’s daughter. And away in the
country, when you see a picturesque
group of ancient chaumieres border-
ing some winding stream it is usually
the tanner’s place.

The adventurous tendency of the
Norsemen still makes the Normans
fine mariners. Champlain sailed
from Honfleur to colonize Canada—
a plaque on the wall of the ancient
custom house tells of this historic
sailing. In East Gloucester, Massa-
chusetts, the same voyage is com-
memorated by another tablet telling
of Champlain’s visit to Gloucester
Harbor, which he called Beauport.

Just
a few more peas to shell, tomatoes
to prepare and then. ... The phone
shrilled harshly and Marty jerked out
of her pleasant semi-doze. ‘Tucker's
residence,’ she yawned into the
transmitter.

The voice that came over the wire
carried a noticeable blend of cajolery
and anxiety. ‘Hello, kitten, this is
your year-an-a-day husband; remem-
ber?”

“As if I could forget!"’ Marty re-
membered, too, the stacks of dishes
she'd washed, the countless ash trays
she'd emptied after last night's
party. Then she thought of Don's
good intentions which had fostered
the somewhat costly celebration and
her voice softened. “Is something
wrong, Don? You're almost due
home.”

“Wrong?

No, Oh, no!
that—well, Mr. Bertram is coming
home with me. Tonight—" Marty
heard a sound that might have been
& gulp, “—for dinner.”

“For d-dinner? But after last
night we can't afford any dinner be-
fore pay day—at least not the kind
the boss would expect.”

“Oh, Mr. Bertram isn't the big
boss. Just fix a steak or something.
We'll be along pretty soon.”

Marty's temperature soared as
she reckoned the expense of Don's
surprise party the previous evening.
Chicken chop suey dinners for six-
teen from the town’s best restaurant;
dozens of drinks made of choice in-
gredients. With other items it had
taken all their money. Yes, and a
little they didn’t have! Don had a
bad—though admittedly diminishing
—habit of borrowing. And now the
party seemed destined to cost him a
promotion.

The present manager of West End
branch was retiring and it was no
secret that Mr. Bertram was charged
with appointing old man Luther's
successor, Don’s prospects for ad-
vancement were none too bright, be-
ing only a junior in the firm of Hil-
ton, Inc.

“And now even that faint hope is
going up in smoke,” Marty sighed,
hopelessly shaking an already pil-
fered piggy bank.

Well, at least the anniversary bou-
quet made a nice centrepiece.

Don was a darling about buying
her things she liked; the trouble was
he carried that too far—the living
room furniture, for instance. When
his great-aunt had come through
with an old but elegant elbow chair,
Marty had been rash enough to ex-

generous wedding check. Marty de-
fended Don's choice against friendly
criticism, but now she foresaw little
difficulty in telling him exactly what
she really thought of his taste in
furniture.

When Don and his guest arrived
Marty wore her best dress. If her
smile was merely a good imitation
of her best it fooled even her hus-
band. He managed to sneak into
the kitchen for a few words before
dinner. He sniffed expectantly.
“Steak broiling, kitten?”

Marty was very calm. “Steaks
cost money. So do parties. Owing
to the latter, the Tuckers are with-
out funds until pay day.” With a

| graceful gesture she lifted the cover

off the solitary steaming kettle.
“Thanks to our garden we needn't
starve in the interim.”
Don stared in disbelief.
Only soup?” F
“Vegetable soup, crammed with
vitamins. There's plenty of it. Be-
sides, we’re having egg sandwiches.”
Don's glance shifted from the soup
to the living room and back again.

“Soup.

|His voice was a despairing whisper.

“You could have borrowed some
money.”

Marty proceeded to ladle into a
silver tureen. “Borrowing is an art
at which I am most inept.”

“Oh, nuts! Well simply have to
explain. . .”

“No!” Marty’s calm forsook her.
“Don't you dare explain or apologize!
We're going to act as if this were
the perfectly normal way of feeding
a special guest if it... if it costs
you your job!”

“It will,” Don predicted gloomily.

Dinner over, Mr. Bertram settled
himself in one of the ancient chairs
and accepted a cigar. “Nothing like
a smoke to top off a fine meal, I al-
ways say. You're a great cook, Mrs.

Tucker. Finest soup I’ve tasted in
years you know, Tucker,” he
went on, “this visit to your home

gives me a new insight into your
character. Frankly, until tonight I
thought you were a bit unstable,
given to ostentation.”

Marty avoided her husband's em-
barrassed glance. She was anxious
to hear Mr. Bertram’s next words.

“The simple way you live is in
keeping with your modest salary.
Now take this room,” he said, beam-
ing. “You don’t find many young
people satisfied with hand-me-down
furniture until they can afford mod-
ern stuff of their own.” Unaware
of Don's purplish tinge he continued:
“I like to see people do with what
they have. Don’t buy except for
cash! That’s Mr. Hilton’s motto and
I’m certain he'll approve of you as
the new West End manager.”

While Don was alternately kissing
his pretty young wife and vowing to
live within his newly enlarged in-
come, Mr. Bertram made his way
without delay to his favorite res-
taurant.

“Make it a thick steak, Nick,” he
ordered. “And, say, put it on the
cuff till pay day, will you?”

Valuable Contracts

Britain Hopes To Buy Large Amount
Of Canadian Timber

Trade department officials at Ot-
tawa said that Britain hopes to buy
timber valued at $140,000,000 from
individual Canadian shippers during
two years after the end of the war
in Europe under contracts soon to be
negotiated.

Commenting on a London announce-
ment that arrangements for the sup-
ply of “considerable” quantities of
Canadian timber have been com-
pleted, a spokesman said Britain
would purchase approximately 1,200,-
000,000 board feet of timber during
each of the two years. That would
work about to $70,000,000 worth of
timber each year.

Bulk of the timber, he said, would
come from the west coast but there
also would be a considerable portion
from eastern Canada.

The mountainous terrain between
India and Burma is so difficult there

never has been any railroad, sea
transport proving cheaper and

Mosquito Record, Here Is

British praise for Canada’s Mos-

quito aircraft production is given in

an article by Kenneth R. Wilson,

Ottawa correspondent of Financial

Post, Toronto. The writer recently

returned from the United Kingdom|mated by the Sub-Committee of the|

after a six weeks’ tour with a group
of Canadian editors, at the invitation
of the British Ministry of Informa-
tion. He talked to officials of de
Havilland Aircraft, the
company of which handles Mosquito
manufacture in this continent, Mr.
Wilson writes:

“Despite the * handicap of 3,000
miles separation from the plant
where the first Mosquitos were pro-
duced, the Canadian plant got into
production more rapidly than a com-
parable operation in the U.K. which
had all the original company experi-
ence to draw from near at hand.”

Canadian Mosquitos, in the prim-
ary and component production of
which thousands of aircraft workers |
throughout the Dominion are en-|
gaged, are flown in ever increasing |
numbers from Canada to European |
battlefronts. Recently two of them
broke all existing non-stop trans- |

Post-War

And The Farmer

|THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
FARM PLANT AND EQUIP-
MENT AFTER THE WAR
By Evan A. Hardy, Professor of

Agricultural Engineering.
University of Saskatchewan.

(Note—This is the second of a
serles of comments by well-known
authorities, writing expressly for the
Weekly Press of Western Canada).

A study of farm plants in Western
Canada which includes improvements

on farm land such as buildings and)

attached: equipment, indicates that
before the war, due to drouth and
poor crops, resulting in a shortage
of money, and since the war, due to
a shortage of labor and material,
the farm buildings are considerably
below the average standard which is
anticipated for the post-war farm.
Many of the buildings are of modern)
design and are suitable for power |
and mixed farming, but need con-
siderable maintenance and painting
which will amount to from 10% to

| them in good state of repair. <A
| larger number of buildings are either
jtemporary in nature or completely

was taken “by the British near Caen| unsuitable for the type of farming Tepairing, the requirements for re-

being conducted so that it is neces-
sary for them to be torn down and
rebuilt to produce most effictent type
of buildings for the farm.

The maintenance and rebuilding
| Program for Western Canada _ will
amount to as much as half of the
original cost of the buildings at the
present time. This condition has re-
sulted from a long period of drouth
jand inability to make annual repairs
}and maintenance and the war years
where labor and material shortage
as made a major maintenance pro-
gram impossible. It has been esti-

|Advisory Committee on Reconstruc-
jtion that the rebuilding and main-
tenance program would involve an
jexpenditure of about one-quarter
|billion dollars in the course of the
first ten years after the war. If the
|farmer of Western Canada is to be
able to make the necessary mainten-
ance and improvements of his plant,
it is going to be necessary to have
a large amount of money available.
A sinking fund for maintenance and
reconstruction of buildings should
be set up in the form of some tan-
|gible savings, so that after the war
the program of reconstruction will
not be curtailed because of lack of
sufficient funds.

The study of the farm plant also
indicated .a very small percentage
of the farmers of Western Canada
have the advantage of electricity
on the farm. While there have been
many small private farm plants of
32 volt and 6 volt types, the 110 volt
rural electrification is the most sat-
isfactory type due to the fact that
motors of adequate size for practi-
cal farm use can be installed and
used. With 32 and 6 volt units, the
use is definitely limited to house-
water sys-
tems. The study of rural electrifica-
tion in Western Canada _ indicates |

nine minutes. The faster time was
two hours and 10 minutes better

than the previous record by an)
R.A.F. Liberator. Distance was
2,220 statute miles.

First Ships To Enter Cherbourg |
Were British Minesweepers |
The first two ships to enter the
harbour of Cherbourg were two Bri- |
tish minesweepers, These two mod-
est little ships took on a task that
for sheer courage, can hardly be: sur-
passed. Commodore W. A. Sullivan,
head of the U.S, Naval Captured
Ports Group, estimatd that the num-
ber of mines laid inside Cherbourg
Harbour ran into thousands. Until
they had been cleaned up the sal-
vage ships could not get to work on
the wreck-blocked harbour. Hardly
less courageous are the 38 British
Navy divers who joined in the haz-
ardous work, after the minesweepers
had done theirs.

posed more than 200 years ago by

| farmers.

that the cost will be high and in
many instances will be out of pro-
portion to the revenue bearing utility
of the convenience and that it will

lonly be available in such areas
where the individuals are able to
pay more for the advantages. Con-

sequently, if the standard of living
is to be raised by the installation of
adequate rural electrification, con-
siderable sinking funds will need to
be established in order to pay for the
installation of rural electrification.
In the ordinary run of events, money
for this equipment is not available
unless plans are made for the future
to save for rural electrification.
With regard to farm machinery,
while the 1944 crop has been put in
in good shape and the machinery
and equipment will take off the 1944
crop, there has accumulated a large

|}back log in good equipment which
| will be necessary to take up as soon

as the war is over in order to bring
the standard of the farm power unit
and relative machinery up to the
standard of efficient operation,

It has been estimated by the Farm
Management Department of the
University of Saskatchewan that the
number of farms with tractors in-
creased from 75,000 in 1936 to 102,-
000 in 1941; those with combines in-
creased from 9,500 in 1936 to 17,200
in 1941, This means an average
yearly increase of 5,400 new tractor
farmers and 1,560 new combine
For the remaining war
period and at least a short post-war
period, the substitution of tractors
and combines, if allowed, will prob-
ably go on at as rapid or more rapid
a pace than in 1936 to 1941, Assum-
ing even reasonable prosperity up
to 1950, it might average this for
the entire ten years from 1941 to

}1950. With about 300,000 farms for

the three western provinces, there
are many farms still without tractors
and combines on which economical
substitution can be made. This
Suggests that it may be necessary
to add perhaps 4,000 to 5,000 tractors
per year and about 2,000 combines
per year to the normal number of
tractors and combines purchased an-
nually by the farmers of Western
Canada, Tractors and combines are
probably the larger items of new
equipment which is required. There
is, however, much tillage machinery
and much haying machinery which
is on the verge of replacement and
will be replaced as soon as the ma-

Drought Resistance

Despite the favourable moisti:
conditions prevailing in the I’rai
Provinces during recent years. wi
must not forget that drought i
still the greatest hazard in
production of crops and liyestes.. |

There is no evidence that th
amount or seasonal distribution «
rainfall can be influenced by mai,
in spite of claims sometimes mad
by enthusiastic tree planters, Therc-
fore, all we can do is to make h
use of the rainfall we get. Broad;
speaking, this is done in three ways.
The first involves water - saying
devices, such as dams and dugout
for farmstead water supplies and
even for small scale irrigation, The
second involves tillage practices
which prevent or reduce runoff and
which control weeds,

The third method is concerned
with the use of drought resistant
varieties or crops. <A drought
resistant crop is one which makes
efficient use of a limited supply of
moisture. For example, crested
wheat grass is drought sesistant;
timothy is not. Similar, though.
smaller, differences may be observed
between different varicties of wheat.
On the open plains, where moisture
is usually limited, some varieties
yield more than others; but the
differences are less pronounced than
that between crested wheat grass
and timothy, Writers and speakers
who offer hope that the drought
problem will be solved by resistant
varieties as was the rust problem
are @ false prophets. Our wheat
breeders will make progress but. it
will be slow and gradual. Don't
look for a “Russian Thistle” wheat
variety,

EN war demands have been
filled... when invasion gasoline,
aviation gasoline, Navy fuel oil, petro-
leum for the manufacture of explosives,
synthetic rubber, and gasoline for war
industry, farming and essential truck-
ing all have been taken from Canada’s
oil supply —it doesn’t leave a lot for
the civilian!

Figure it out for yourself. It takes
5,250,000 gallons of gaspline to fuel
5,000 bombers and fighters for a
mission over Germany. It takes enough
Y oil for one fueling of a battleship to
, heat an average house for 350 years. It

takes 18,000 gallons of gasoline to keep
one armoured division on the move for
one hour.

From petroleum and petroleum
gases we obtain the gasoline and fuels
needed to power planes and ships and
tanks as well as the raw material for
acetone, ammonia and toluol for ex-
plosives, organic chemicals for an-
aesthetics, naphthas for camouflage
paints and plastics and resins for war
weapons production,

This is why civilian gasoline is short.
This is why it’s up to every motorist,
to every owner of an oil-heated home,

to exercise the strictest economy in
gasoline or fuel oil usage. Every gallon
we can do without here at home is one
gallon more for the fighting men. And
they need every gallon they can get.

Two full years of gasoline rationing
and fuel oil control in Canada have
saved 393,000,000 gallons of gasoline
and 175 million gallons of fuel oil —a
total saving of 568,000,000 gallons of
petroleum products. Yet, despite this
saving, gasoline stocks on hand in
Canada, as of March 3lst, this year,
were 55,000,000 gallons less than at
the commencement of rationing, April
1, 1942.

Oil has a mighty war job to do— yet
supplies are short and are constantly
dwindling. Oil powers the attack on
every front. Oil can mean the difference
between success or failure, between
light casualty lists and
heavy, Oil is vital ammuni-
tion — not to be wasted, not
to be needlessly, frivolously
spent.

Answering Your

Questions about the

Gasoline Shortage

What are Canada’s total yearly re-
quirements of motor gasoline? ..,
Approximately 800,000,000 gal-
lons. Do these requirements have
to cover both military and civilian
needs? ... Yes. Why cannot this
supply be increased? ... Because
total hemispheric supplies are in-
adequate to meet both the colossal
war demand and civilian needs,
There is not enough oil, there are
not enough tankers, for both. How
much of Canada's petroleum needs
is supplied from Canadian wells?

+++ Only 15% Why can’t this home

production be increased? ... Every.
effort is being made to do so. More

new wells are being drilled or pre-

pared for drilling, than at any time

in the history of Western Canada,

but we have yet to find a new

Turner Valley, War does not wait

for new production.
